Weaving wannabe!

Hi!  I'm new to this forum thing, so forgive me if I muck it up!  I'm just wondering if anyone can give me ideas of where to start to learn to weave?

I am already an enthusiastic knitter and crocheter, but I love the look and feel of woven items, as well as the idea of weaving tapestries etc...

I would very much appreciate any ideas!  Thanks!

Hey welcome.  You may want to start by checking out Interweave's page www.learntoweave.com.  It will help you find a weaving shop or guild in your area or find a teacher.  Taking a class is often the best way to get started.  After you visit that page let me know if you have other questions and tell me a little bit more about what kind of weaving you would like to do.

Thank you!  

 You may want to get the book "Learn to Weave" by Deborah Chandler.  It's the one most all the teachers use and is a step by step guide.  Alot of libraries have it on their shelves if you don't want to purchase it.

Thank you - I have it out from the library right now!  It's really good.  Thank you again!

 You can also check to see if there are any weaving guilds in your area. At the HGA website http://www.weavespindye.org/ there is a page listing guilds around the US & internationally. My guild has been a wonderful community for learning & talking the same language. There are many places online to get information, and lots of good books to learn from, but nothing beats a live mentor!
